That's why I want you to enjoy the city stories of culture and lifestyle through a fun food tour. I love interacting with new people and hope to meet you soon. Karibu!

I loved this tour. Joan is knowledgeable and has an awesome personality. She takes the time to explain what you’re eating and is responsive to 500 questions like I had.

We had a fantastic tour with Joan - we learnt so much about the old town and local culture by sampling its iconic street food! Joan ensured that we tried an amazing range of food and drinks, and her confidence and familiarity with the vendors in the area meant that the tour went very smoothly from start to finish. We really enjoyed chatting with her and she was very happy to answer all our questions! We're big eaters yet we can assure you that you really do need to make sure you're hungry at the start of the tour as the food is plentiful throughout the evening! We would highly recommend Joan's street food tour in Mombasa to anyone who is considering it.
